More than 80 percent of fatalities in highway work zones are drivers andpassengers rather than workers. 7 are many good reasons to slow doom eke give work zone driving your most concentrated attention—courtesy to the hardworking people behind the traffic cones should be an obvious one,” said FHWA Utah Division Administrator Walter Waidelich. “But perhaps the most significant reason is that your life, and those of your passengers, depends on driving safely through the conditions.” Work zone fatalities continue to rise across America, with 1,068 people killed in such accidents in 2004, the most recent year with fullyear statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation. In Utah, three people were killed and 223 people were injured in the 1,026 total work zone accidents occurring in 2004. “These accidents don’t have to happen,” said UHP Lieutenant Shawn Judd. “Statistics show that drivers and passengers have far more to lose by speeding through work zones than workers do.” a The OVBA is now taking nominations for articles regarding Old-timers, Newcomers, and Artist/Craftsman (ot woman) for the next oatouty VALLEY issue of the Valley Views Magazine.
